UNSPSC 85472915 Drainage of spinal meninges, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six most recent opportunities posted under it — spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida from July through September 2026 — solicit independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical centers of excellence networks, specialty medical care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve drainage of spinal meninges or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the work actually being bought indicates either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed for broader health services procurement in state and local systems.

The opportunities that do appear under this code reflect fragmented demand across different issuing bodies and geographies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requests surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for its employee health plans (RFP due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation solicits occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (ITB due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issues an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners seeks pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members (RFP due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 categories (RFP due October 7, 2026). No issuer appears more than once, and no geographic concentration emerges. State and local procurement under this code does not reflect the code's nominal scope; vendors pursuing work here should verify the actual work requirement before responding, as the code designation provides little predictive value for the services being solicited.
